Summary:A camera unit that comprises an image sensor and a motion sensor performs an image capture operation in which still images are captured intermittently without triggering by a user. The brightness of illumination during the capture of images is determined. Exposure time is controlled in dependence on both the brightness of illumination and the detected motion. L'invention concerne une unité de caméra qui comprend un capteur d'image et un capteur de mouvement réalisant une opération de capture d'image au cours de laquelle des images fixes sont capturées de manière intermittente sans déclenchement par un utilisateur. La luminosité de l'éclairage pendant la capture des images est déterminée. Le temps d'exposition est commandé en fonction à la fois la luminosité de l'éclairage et du mouvement détecté.
